Abstract:

With the widespread use of UAV,the emplacement of the camera and direction of the camera can be arbitrary.This leads to the diversification of the image baseline direction.It is difficult to process such images with traditional photogrammetric method.This paper proposes a strategy based on essential matrix for recovering pose of aerial image.It is proved that the orientation measurement proposed in this paper can not only determine the baseline direction quickly and solve exterior orientation parameters of images,but also guarantee the re-projection error within one pixel in terms of accuracy using our proposed strategy.

Key words: essential matrix, continuous relative orientation, baseline, image position
